How do you generate cloudflare/templates with Wrangler?

The documentation in the cloudflare/templates repository says that "cloudflare-create" is sunsetting and to use "wrangler generate" instead. However, the wrangler generate command has no documentation for how to do this either.

I'm not sure what you mean? From [email protected]:

wrangler generate [name] [template]

✨ Generate a new Worker project from an existing Worker template. See https://github.com/cloudflare/templates

Positionals:
  name      Name of the Workers project  [string]
  template  The URL of a GitHub template  [string]

Flags:
  -j, --experimental-json-config  Experimental: Support wrangler.json  [boolean]
  -c, --config                    Path to .toml configuration file  [string]
  -e, --env                       Environment to use for operations and .env files  [string]
  -h, --help                      Show help  [boolean]
  -v, --version                   Show version number  [boolean]

wrangler generate [name] [template]

  -v, --version                   Show version number  [boolean]

The readme on the repo hasn't updated in a while, but it should still work...

I suppose the part that wasn't clear was that you do not need to specify a [template] when using generate in order to get a specific template from the cloudflare/templates repository. It implies that you need to specify a template path, like workers-typescript, but that throws an error that the template can't be found. I resolved this by not specifying a template, at which point it asked me which template I wanted to use.

I think the reason there was that the template is worker-typescript, not workers-typescript:

 ⛅️ wrangler 2.9.0

Creating a worker in yee from worker-typescript
✨ Success!
